“Despite this Western preoccupation with robots, most of the collectible tin toy robots of the 1950s, also known as “mecha,” come from Japan. In Japanese culture, robots are usually beloved companions that pose no threat, even when given human emotions and free will. This tradition goes back to the Edo period, when a craftsman named Hisashige Tanaka, who lived from 1799 to 1881, made karakuri dolls, which were early automatons that moved through spring action. They could serve tea, shoot arrows, and even write. While “windup” or “clockwork” tin toys were mostly made in Germany starting around the end of the 19th century, Japan took to this malleable metal and eventually developed highly sophisticated tin printing and punching machines. Selling cheaper and simpler versions of German toys, Japan was able to capture an even bigger share of the tin-toy market. German and Japanese production of these toys halted during World War II, as metals and factories were devoted to the war effort. Shortly after the war, though, with Japan under American occupation, its factories began producing tin model cars, trains, and other windup toys again. Under General MacArthur, the U.S. encouraged low-profit, high-labor industries such as toy making in Japan. Lilliput, a square yellow robot made in Japan, is widely considered the first tin toy robot, made in 1938. Following Lilliput, the next toy robot made in Japan was Atomic Robot Man, created in 1949 and given out at sci-fi convention in New York in 1950. The box showed the robot stomping through nuclear-bomb ravaged city, a mushroom cloud in the background.”

Isaac Asimov’s robot novels were the first science fiction I read, when I was 9. Above is a replica of Robbie, from “Lost in Space”, a futuristic version of The Swiss Family Robinson. Czar & I often use his phrase, “Danger, Will Robinson!” as a warning about most anything. I recall a trick-or-treater in Oklahoma City when I was about 5 (1955) who was a robot (dressed in a costume made of boxes covered in foil) with various knobs & dials attached.

Hi everyone! A little late to the party, but wanted to get this done for our dear Sand&Sea & Joshua in the big “D” 🙂 Today’s state flower is….. THE TEXAS BLUEBONNET!
Above picture Camden Living
In 1901, the Texas Legislature adopted the bluebonnet, of the annual legume Lupinus subcarnosus, as the state flower. The flower’s popular name derives from its resemblance to a sunbonnet. It has also been called buffalo clover, wolf flower, and, in Spanish, el conejo (“the rabbit”). in 1971, the legislation was amended to include L. texensis & “any other variety of bluebonnet not heretofore recorded.” At least four other species of bluebonnet grow in Texas. Contrary to various folk stories & legends claiming that the plant originated outside the state, L. texensis & L. subcarnosus are native to Texas. Although early explorers failed to mention the bluebonnet in their descriptions of Texas, Indian lore called the flower a gift from the Great Spirit. In the 1930s the Highway Department began a landscaping & beautification program & extended the flower’s range. Due largely to that effort, bluebonnets now grow along most major highways throughout the state.
The flower usually blooms in late March & early April. In North Texas, they peak in mid to late April. Bluebonnets germinate in the fall, & fall rainfall is critical. Winter snow helps insulate the plants. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center explains: “Around mid-May, they form a seedpod, & the seeds mature. The seedpods pop open, releasing the small, hard seeds.” Many say the bluebonnets make pop-pop-pop-ing sounds. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension continues: “Only a small percentage of the seed germinates during the first season after planting. This delayed germination ensures species survival during periods of adverse growing conditions. A maroon version of the state flower that’s sprouted at the University of Texas Tower in Austin has some wondering if it’s the work of Aggie pranksters. Flower beds containing brightly colored bluebonnets are now home to a variant known as Alamo Fire, which is a shade of maroon. (The Texas A&M colors are maroon & white.) There’s speculation in the land of the Longhorns that Aggies are responsible for sprinkling Alamo Fire seeds on the UT campus. Texas A&M horticulturists developed the maroon variety in the 1980s in an attempt to plant a floral Texas flag in honor of the state’s sesquicentennial. The recessive maroon hue will recede over time to the bluebonnet’s dominant shade of indigo.
In 1997, the Texas Legislature named Ennis the Texas Bluebonnet Trail & the official bluebonnet city of Texas. Every April, up to 100,000 people go to the Ennis Bluebonnet Trails Festival. It’s home to 40 miles of roadsides covered with wildflowers. Chappell Hill, which earned the title “Official State of Texas Bluebonnet Festival.” has it’s 50th annual Bluebonnet Festival. Perri Angela Wickham, a bluebonnet addict, posts regular bluebonnet updates on her website, bluebonnetlove dot com.
Texas adopted “Bluebonnets” by Julia D. Booth & Lora C. Crockett as the official state flower song in 1933; (Texas designated “Texas, Our Texas” as the official state song in 1929). & here’s another song: ‘Texas Bluebonnets’ by Laurie Lewis

There’s also an industry that’s built up around street nutjobs, outpatient treatment,therapy, housing – too much $$$ involved to rock the boat.
Thge other thing is their numbers – if I had a buck for every regular, never mind ‘surprise!’ nutjob we encountered on the street I could have retired much earlier with more money. You just can’t put ’em all on as roster and keep track of ’em realistically.

You’d think something would have been picked up in psych evaluation.
Again it’s ignorant to think background checks or training or psych evaluations will stop all the crazies and evil people.
If they don’t have a gun they will use a different tool and the one truth that will always be the truth is that a good guy with a gun is the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun.

Psych evals aren’t science, they’re social science. You can get pretty close sometimes but it’s not exact which is why every good psychologist keeps a Big Book of Excuses in his backpack.
We had psycologiosts doing screening evals in Special Operations but still bad guys slip through. We have many large departments doing psych evals for LEO but look at what happens. I personally like the excuse that the system works but it’s bad psychs that cause the problems….but wait, weren’t they created and certified by the top tier psychologists, the creme de la creme, those at universities who are the gatekeepers of the trade?

“We’re updating our privacy policy in preparation for the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) later this month. Although these updates are sparked by European law, on Imgur, they will apply to everyone.”
It appears that any site that has recently asked for an acceptance of new terms is subjecting you to the regulations of the European Union that go into effect today.

I have told this story before, apologies if you’ve seen it, but I can never resist. Back when my kids were growing up we had an awesome Golden Retriever named Sam, and a mama cat with kittens just weaned when the cat died. Sam raised the kittens, keeping them all together against his stomach, laying there with them just like their mama.
Eventually he played with them like pups, carrying them around by their fur, even tossing them and they would run back. Finally the day came that he thought they should learn his favorite thing, swimming. He tossed each of them in the pool and then would jump in after each one, nosing it along and then flipping it up and out. After a few days when he walked out onto the diving board five kittens would follow him and jump in.
Those kittens acted like pups, and played like them too. We’ve always had some weird critters.

This year it started to bloom I’m going to find out how to get the pix frpom my phone to the site, it’s the most amazing rose.
